Howdy,

I have a basic question regarding momentary switches.

I would like a pushbutton switch that makes contact the first time you push it and breaks contact the second time you push it.

What would this be called? I want to ask for the right thing when I order from Mouser ;)

Thanks a lot,

Paul

3-pole relays being the price they are, it's an expensive solution. :eek:

Another method that works in (my) simulation, you may need to tweak R3 to get the right gate voltage. Adapted from a sci.electronics.design thread with a P-mosfet for Q2, but I couldn't get that to work.
